One of the key principles behind planning poker is to prevent anchoring. In Smart Guess, this is the key principle held in place:
You only see other team-member estimates when you have first selected your own.
How does Smart Guess ensure you don't see other team members' cards without
firstselecting your own?
Let's take an example to see this in action
1. User opens a story where three team members have given an estimate
Here is what the users will see:
Team members avatars who have joined 'Team planning'
All of them Avatars show a green checkmark, indicating they have selected an estimate (green checkmark)
The user who has not given an estimate can only see his own their card deck
The user who has not given an estimate
Only sees his/her own their cards:
Users who have already given an estimate
Only see their own cards:
2. When the user joins 'Team planning' - this is what happens:
In real-time, shared with all users
The user's avatar is added appears and 'does the dancewiggles' - to show team members showing who joined the session
Other team-member estimates are not visible

By selecting a card directly, without clicking ‘Join’, users automatically join the estimation session. |
3. When the user selects an estimate - this is what happens:
In real-time, shared with all users
User The user's avatar gets a 'green checkmark' Userand 's avatar 'does the dance' - to show team-members a new estimate is in place wiggles' - showing who gave an estimate
4. Sharing estimates with team-members
When a user clicks the 'Show estimates' button
In real-time, all the estimates are shared
The user's avatar clicking who clicks the button - 'does the dancewiggles' - to show showing who performed the action
All users are shown the 'Team estimates' at the same time
What happens when a new member joins when the team has already
shared estimates and started a discussion?started discussing estimates?
1. Let's take an example to see this in action
The user who has not given an estimate
Only sees his/her own cards:
Users who have shared started discussing their estimates
See their own cards:
the team estimates laid out:
2. Once the user selects an estimate - this is what happens:
As soon as the user gives an estimate
In real-time
The user giving the estimate is transitioned showing all team-member estimates
The user's avatar who just gave an estimate 'wiggles' - showing who performed the action
